CHULA VISTA, Calif. (Aug. 28, 2019)—The U.S. Under-20 Women’s National Team lost 2-1 to Japan in the first of a two-game set during a training camp at the Elite Athlete Training Center located just south of San Diego.

The teams will meet again on Aug. 31.

Japan benefited from an own goal scored by U.S. defender Bria Schrotenboer in the 29th minute but the USA battled back to equalize in the 78th through forward Reilyn Turner.

The goal came off a cross from midfielder Hannah Bebar that was served into the penalty area to Turner, who finished with a header to the far post from inside the six-yard box.

Japan bagged the winner in the evenly-played match in the 78th with a goal from Nodoka Funaki.

Head coach Mark Carr called in 20 players for the camp to evaluate players from the younger portion of the U-20 WNT player pool. All the players on the U.S. roster were born in 2001 or 2002. Players born on or after Jan. 1, 2000 are age-eligible for the 2020 FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup.
